The first instant noodle mega-review of 2026! I tried all four launch flavors of Nongshim Ramyun Chef, a product line focused on global recipes with Nongshim's great ramyun noodles: Beef Bulgogi, Braised Beef, Curry Chicken, and Creamy Garlic Chicken. Video review here:

Samyang Buldak Sweet Ramen tries to tone down the heat without losing the signature Buldak flavor. Is this the right entry point for Buldak newcomers? And what will diehard Buldak veterans think of this one?

A new curry noodle cup review is up on the website. This is Acecook Vietnam’s CoCo Ichibanya Curry Ramen! How well does it translate the famous Japanese curry house flavor into an instant cup?

Nissin is back with another gimmick flavor, and this time it’s Cup Noodles Dill Pickle. I came out of this review with some very strong opinions. If you’re curious how pickle brine works with instant noodles, check out the video.

New video review is live: Marutai Fukuoka Seafood & Pork Tsukemen.
Ultra-thick noodles made with premium Japanese wheat and a concentrated pork-and-seafood dipping broth make this a very different ramen experience!

New video review! I checked out Marutai's Yokohama Soy Sauce Tonkotsu Ramen. This was my first time reviewing an instant iekei-style ramen, and one special ingredient in this pack of ramen will likely surprise you as much as it surprised me.

As promised in my Marutai Chilled Chinese Noodles review, here's what I ended up doing to dress up the noodles: crab stick, Spam, cucumber, green onion, scrambled egg, and sesame seeds. This turned out fantastic!

The latest video review is up on YouTube, and it's Momofuku's brand-new Sesame Miso Noodles. These noodles coincide with a major product line overhaul from the company, and I get into all those details and more.

New video just dropped! Buldak goes into a bold, new Tex-Mex direction, but is it any good? Check out my review of Samyang's Buldak Taco Ramen: https://youtu.be/m57dOZXMFho
